Indian actor Emraan Hashmi told his followers on X on Monday that he would not be playing ‘Mehmood saab’ in an upcoming biopic. In fact, he said he hadn’t even been approached for the role.
Everyone from Pakistan who saw the post likely had the exact same thought swirling around in their mind: Surely, he doesn’t mean…Mahmood sahab.
So, naturally, someone ventured to confirm.
It was a relief to know we weren’t the only ones thinking of a particular Mahmood. A bunch of people thought the same thing.
One user said Hashmi could have “absolutely rocked as Mehmood saab”. They even added an artistic rendition of him in the role.
